Get to Know Heliogen
Heliogen is a renewable energy technology company on a mission to help industry achieve net zero emissions. By combining solar thermal technology with artificial intelligence and thermal energy storage, we aim to support a sustainable future – starting with our solutions for clean industrial steam and hybrid power.
About Us
Renewable Energy Solutions to Advance the Future of Industry
With mounting climate crises and rising fuel costs and volatility, industrial companies are committing to advance towards a clean, renewable future. Industrial operations using fossil fuels produce an estimated 35% of global CO2 emissions. To reach net zero, industry must shift to renewable sources now. Heliogen can help.
Our revolutionary concentrated solar thermal energy solution uses sunlight and thermal storage to decarbonize industrial operations. Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), our modular system aims to deliver cost-competitive dispatchable renewable energy in the form of steam or power for industrial customers.
Industrial demand for renewable energy is enormous, so Heliogen has designed a solution that gets high performance out of efficient components. Customers benefit from streamlined deployment and improved performance, versus traditional CSP.

Our Story
A Mission-Driven Innovation Story
From our beginnings as an Idealab concept to becoming a publicly traded company, we’ve been working hard to realize our vision of making cost-effective renewable energy available to the world. We’ve invented groundbreaking new technology and are moving towards developing new energy projects. And we’re just getting started.
Our Impact
Renewable Energy. Sustainable Difference.
By focusing on the hardest sectors to decarbonize, we’re accelerating the shift to net zero. Traditional renewables can’t efficiently sustain heat-intensive processes running at night. Heliogen’s solutions for storage and dispatchability circumvent this issue, making renewables a viable option. By helping industrial operations achieve their sustainability goals, we all win.
Clean energy that reduces emissions
Heliogen’s technology will help industry transition away from fossil fuels. A factory in a sunny location that has replaced its natural gas-fired boiler operation with 5 MWth of Heliogen energy modules can expect to reduce CO2 emissions by over 8000 metric tons per year. That’s the equivalent of taking 1700 cars off the road. Our technology has the potential to eliminate gigatons of CO2 globally.
